Re: Truck getting older ..... Towing getting tougher

I had similar issues with my older 98 PSD van...heat gauge rising during towing, temps would rise going up hill and drop going down hill...level ground was normal ...had a lot of miles on it at the time and thru a lot of parts at it that needed to be replaced anyway but no real improvement... thermostat, water pump, pulleys, belts etc...
culprit was a partially clogged radiator...had about 30% of the tubes clogged...replaced and no issues
